The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3283 - 3278: Danger Level_1

The entrance to the Earth Spirit Hall resembled a massive maw. Countless mighty cultivators stepped inside, where towering pillars shaped like tree roots lined the interior. An overwhelming grandeur assaulted the senses, and Yang Chen felt only a profoundly dignified Qi enveloping him.

Stepping through that enormous opening, the expansive layout of the hall unfolded clearly before his eyes. Paths branched off in all directions, leaving Yang Chen uncertain of the right way forward.

"Daoist Mo, this Earth Spirit Hall branches out in so many ways. Which path do we take?" Yang Chen inquired.

Mo Wenfeng ran a hand over his beard and replied, "Within the Earth Spirit Hall, varying Merit Grades receive distinct privileges. For folks like us, we make our way to the bustling eastern section. Notice that Sub-hall over there—it's meant for those with modest Merits such as ours."

Yang Chen gave a nod. Just as Mo Wenfeng described, the eastern Sub-hall teemed with far more individuals than the surrounding areas.

It served as the typical destination for those holding lower Merits.

While trailing behind Mo Wenfeng, a sudden uproar erupted from the throng.

"Hey, that's the King of Destruction!"

"The King of Destruction has arrived!"

"Word is, the King of Destruction ventured into the Sky Blue Realm recently. That place brims with perils yet overflows with treasures. Can't imagine the haul of Merits he'll claim on this trip."

"The King of Destruction's lingered at Seventh-Level Merit for ages, right? He could very well climb to Eighth-Level Merit this round."

"Eighth-Level Merit? I'm green with envy. Why don't we possess that sort of power, even in the Heavenly Separation Realm?"

Right away, the crowd brimmed with jealousy, gazing at him in profound admiration.

Yang Chen and Mo Wenfeng glanced over and spotted the King of Destruction—a figure clad in azure armor, sporting neatly cropped hair, a thick beard, and narrow eyes that conveyed a cunning, scheming vibe.

The King of Destruction swiftly turned into the focal point of the murmurs around him, appearing quite accustomed to the attention as he moved toward a sparsely populated zone. The moment he approached, a group of lovely female cultivators at the Heavenly Separation Realm flashed welcoming smiles and attended to him attentively.

Witnessing the scene, Mo Wenfeng remarked, "That's the perk of elevated Merit status. Observe the King of Destruction—with his Seventh-Level Merit, the instant he steps back into the Earth Spirit Hall, attendants rush to welcome him. It looks like the Earth Spirit Hall stations dedicated personnel to strategize and direct such prominent figures during missions."

"High Merits come with perks like that?" Yang Chen expressed astonishment.

"Absolutely. Take the King of Destruction—he represents top-tier fighting force for the Earth Spirit Hall, so they pamper him accordingly. For our kind, it's a win just to avoid scorn." Mo Wenfeng sighed, his gaze brimming with longing as he tracked the King of Destruction's departure, yearning to ascend to such elite status without delay.

Yang Chen grasped the situation now.

Even at identical cultivation stages, vast disparities existed inside the Earth Spirit Hall.

"Does the Earth Spirit Hall reserve its top honors for Heavenly Separation Realm powerhouses like the King of Destruction?" Yang Chen questioned.

Mo Wenfeng responded, "Far from it. Stronger Heavenly Separation Realm individuals outshine even the King of Destruction. Certain ones boast Merits up to the Eighth Level, though they're shadowy legends. I've caught rumors about them, but never laid eyes on any."

Yang Chen inclined his head, absorbing fresh insights.

The appearance of the King of Destruction sparked a brief commotion, like a fleeting interlude. Soon, the Earth Spirit Hall settled back into its routine bustle. Yang Chen stuck close to Mo Wenfeng and ventured into the Sub-hall reserved for low-Merit holders.

The Sub-hall sprawled impressively wide, yet it swarmed with even greater crowds.

Yet, the moment they crossed the threshold, what drew Yang Chen's gaze first wasn't the multitude of bodies, but the peculiar glows radiating throughout the Sub-hall.

This odd luminescence snagged Yang Chen's focus. Peering more intently, he noticed tiny stars suspended midair. They resembled compact star realms, with endless varieties displayed before the onlookers, sparking Yang Chen's curiosity about their function.

"Daoist Friend Mo, what exactly are these things?" Yang Chen wondered aloud, perplexed.

A host of formidable cultivators clustered before these mini star realms, scrutinizing them meticulously, their actions a mystery to him.

Mo Wenfeng tilted his head, noting Yang Chen's bewilderment. "Brother Yang Chen, my initial visit left me just as baffled as you. It took endless questions to figure it out. For accepting missions, you and I rely heavily on these miniature stars."

"How come?" Yang Chen pressed.

"Brother Yang Chen, stick with me, and it'll click once you inspect them nearer." Mo Wenfeng smoothed his beard.

Yang Chen agreed with a nod, accompanying Mo Wenfeng right up to the cluster of miniature stars.

"Brother Yang Chen, send your soul to probe any one of these stars freely." Mo Wenfeng instructed.

Yang Chen complied, directing his soul toward a single star.

Upon delving into the star, a flood of details surged into his consciousness. Yang Chen jolted briefly, then quickly pieced together the revelation.

Noticing Yang Chen's dawning comprehension, Mo Wenfeng chuckled. "These miniature stars depict the hazardous worlds across our human universe, numbering in the millions. Simulations of them fill this space, including replicated layouts of the planets. Should Brother Yang Chen fancy a particular star realm, simply scan its miniature counterpart with your soul to grasp the threat rating of that domain and the associated Merit objectives."

Yang Chen affirmed with a nod. Drawing from Mo Wenfeng's explanation and his own soul scan of the miniature stars, he'd gained deep knowledge of the Earth Spirit Hall.

From his studies in the Taiyuan Star System, Yang Chen knew the Earth Spirit Hall alongside the Ancient Divine Realm handled threats from extraterrestrial clans endangering the human universe.

Every one of these domains stood as prime targets for the Earth Spirit Hall.

Cultivators enjoyed freedom to enter any domain, free from oversight or interference. Methods to acquire Jiyu Essence lay scattered across these worlds.

For instance, dismantling the Gates of Life and Death in a star realm would earn Jiyu Essence.

Slaying a formidable Alien within the domain likewise secured Jiyu Essence.

Or, aiding survivors or harvesting precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might bring forth rewards.

Every mission detail hid inside the miniature stars. A mere soul sweep unveiled it all instantly.

Challenges abounded in each star, prompting most cultivators to band together with fellow experts before departing, creating squads. Solo journeys frequently ended in disaster.

"Brother Yang Chen, take your time later to ponder which domain appeals to you. If something baffles you, query me or review the threat ratings across various realms. Those ratings prove trustworthy. Typically, few mighty ones risk venturing into perils exceeding their Merit tier."
